12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
the afflicted who have no one to help.13 He will take pity on the weak and the needy
and save the needy from death.14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence,
for precious is their blood in his sight.God cares for the needy, the afflicted, and the weak because they are precious to him. If God feels so strongly about these needy ones and loves them so deeply, how can we ignore their plight? Examine what you are doing to reach out with God's love. Are you ignoring their plight or are you meeting their needs? Verse and commentary above is copied from the Life Application Study Bible Reading Plan on YouVersion.

Luke 24:50-53
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them.51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
I don't naturally want to praise God. Praising myself seems to come pretty easy. I want to keep my mind and heart focused on Jesus. His plan, His Kingdom, His reality. Please, Lord help me do that, cause my mind and heart so easily drift to this world and all the distractions and lies. I want to live every moment for you and your way. I just can't seem to do it on my own. Jesus, do it for me, in me, with me.
